Biography

Biography

I joined Middlesex in 2015 as a Lecturer in Mathematics.

I'm now a Senior Lecturer in Mathematics, and Learning and Quality Lead for the Faculty of Science and Technology.

In addition to teaching and research I have a significant interest in ensuring the faculty develops high-quality courses. I chair the validation and review sub-committee that reviews all programmes of study developed in the Faculty of Science and Technology.
